Motion to approve the Site Plan for West Bank.The West Bank property is located just west of the
intersection of E.Hickman Road and NE Alice's Road with the zoning designation of C-IB (Large Scale
Commercial Development).The applicant is requesting approval of a site plan for the development of the
1.363 acre Lot 1 within the proposed Crossing at Alice's Road Plat 2.Brad Deets explained that the
sidewalk along NE Venture Drive and the west side of the entrance drive were the only outstanding issues
for the site plan.Commissioner Schmidt stated that during the zoning review it was the recommendation
of the Commissiou that although the road was going to be considered private,it would be built to the
public standard including the construction of sidewalks.Commissiouer Mook connnented that some
pedestrian connector should be incorporated in the overall area which was supported by Commissioner
Schmidt.The Commission discussed that the 2nd drive west of Alice's Road would be a signalized
intersection and would be a logical location for a sidewalk crossing.The Commission discussed the need
to have a sidewalk along NE Venture Drive within the proposed site,but conceded that the request to
place a sidewalk along the eastern portion of the site may not be necessary as long as a pedestrian
connection was provided at the proposed lighted intersection immediately west of the West Bank site.By
request of the Commission,Evan Oster with Knapp Properties discussed the overall concept for the
remaining lots:1)HyVee purchased one lot but it was unclear what their construction schedule is,2)
West Bank will proceed immediately,3)the location next to the substation will be presented to the
Commission in approximately two weeks,4)they are trying to locate an anchor in the primary retail area
and would then focus on the lots along Hickman Road,and 5)nothing is pending for the office area at this
time,however,Knapp Properties does intend to have some of the roadway infrastructure for the office
areas in the coming year.Dennis Hanson with Environmental Design Group briefly discussed the site
elevations.Jerry Oliver with CEC briefly addressed the landscaping plan.Motion by Commissioner
Airhart,seconded by Commissioner Dutcher to "Approve the Site Plan for West Bank subject to
j
remaining staff comments,"Motion by Commissioner Airhart,seconded by Commissioner Dntcher to
